Turn Your Mac Into a Noisy Old-School Typewriter

Did you ever long for the romantic old days where the act of writing evoked the sound of clacking typewriters punctuated by the chime of a bell?

Then the Noisy Typer 1.0 is for you. Theo Watson, an inventor, introduced the free app earlier this month. It may be the perfect thing for the nostalgic and/or pretentious writer in your life, especially if she happens to be a Mac user. Unfortunately, no Windows version exists yet.

Watson isn't the first to attempt to bring the joys of typewriters into the digital age: Another inventor, Jack Zylkin, introduced a manual typewriter USB plug-in for an iPad last year.
